/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

A taco party or taco feast, an event where tacos are the main food served. In Mexico, a taquiza is the ultimate catering solution for everything from casual birthday parties to massive weddings. Someone sets up a taco station with a taquero grilling meat, and guests line up to build their own tacos with all the salsas and toppings. It is the Mexican equivalent of a BBQ cookout, except better because it is tacos.

Examples

We set up a taco party for the birthday.

They had a taco feast at the wedding and it was the best part.

Regional synonyms

A cluster of small homes arranged around a shared central courtyard in Mexico, where multiple families live together and everyone knows each other's business. Think El Chavo del 8: neighbors who borrow everything, argue loudly, and somehow always look out for each other. A piece of traditional Mexican urban life that still exists in many city centers.
